Zabbix console tool name

[Jun.Liu]

it is useful to type zab+<tabkey> in order to get all zabbix's commands.

Good idea.
besides, I'm also like the "zabicon" but I think "zabcon" will be more better. Actually, I'm also writing a similar command line tool to read some items's history data and generate the chart for the report use... I named it 'zabchart'.

[DizAstro]

propose the name 'zico'

zico - for Zabbix Interactive COmmander

[exkg]

My vote: zconsole

I Like it ... is similar to ' bconsole' (from Bacula)

which exactly where i got the idea from

[whisky]

why not open the poll a little bit

How about other sugestions ?

like : zabX

if I understand it’s a ruby frontend, if so and you could then attract a lot of rubyist, it would be great to call it zabbix4r

my 2 cents

[richlv]

it doesn't look like it is possible to edit the poll. but other solutions on this thread definitely will be considered

[themons]

What do you think of

zabsh

like bash/ksh/... unfortunatlly zsh already exist

[troffasky]

How about zhell or zapi?

[bcheese]

Nice and simple.

What about a quick and easy to type, simple option.

$ zc

Another alternative would just to make it "zabbix-console" to fit with the other zabbix binaries which are already there and let people link it to what they like.

Cheers,
Brian.

Zabbix now has a CLI tool!

After some deliberation and discussion with Richlv I've decided to name the CLI tool Zabcon.

Since the tool was announced a fair amount of progress has been made. It is now possible to add, edit, update and delete a user a user. Show items, hosts, and host groups. Work is being done to allow for adding and deleting of hosts and items. It will also be possible to edit existing items in the near future.

And if all that is not enough, it is possible to pipe your commands into the tool from within a shell script!

Attached is a screen shot giving you all an idea of where we are so far.

Please head over the the site I have setup to for development and take a look. I also encourage you to download Zabcon and provide some feedback. Zabcon has been tested to work under both Linux and Windows.

A Trac site has been setup to support the development efforts, on the main page there are also instructions for downloading from the subversion repository.

Since I wrote the management tools on top of what is now BMC BPPM, if this tool gives me the ability to create all of the type definitions within the product.

And I can import the XML templates...

I have a complete set of tools that I will throw at this to read in/write out the whole configuration.

Why is this important? Have you ever done 100K clicks to create an environment? I have, so I wrote all these tools on spreadsheets that we can populate from tools, and regular expression patterns, to create the whole environment.

Within BPPM, I can export, and reimport the whole environment in minutes.

Now if we can get some hierarchical grouping in the product, and I can figure out how to add new graph types using the R statistical language. Then watch out how this product could burn through the monitoring landscape.

I am having discussions with Oracles OEM team on dynamic baselines, and look at how simply the math in Zabbix accommodates them.

VLTurner, It will be somewhat easy to add direct import/export of templates to XML in Zabcon. I already have code to download graphs from Zabbix here:

http://trac.red-tux.net/browser/trunk/ruby/zabcon/custom_commands/zabbix_get_graph.rb

I'd love to discuss adding more command options to Zabcon and enabling others to create new commands/features for others to use. Send me an email and let's discuss, nelsonab (at) red-tux (dot) net

[QwErTy_LoGiC]

Really alternative name...

What about princessbarbielandwhereunicornsandrainbowsliveinha rmonycon?

My 2 cents...

[vlturner]

Help me with the script.

I understand the script some, but I think it only does the supported graph types.

But I want to do the complex scatter graphs with animation and have them display within the zabbix web server. Any thoughts on this.

What I want this graph for is to model the system metrics and how they relate as pressures within the system.

I want to send you some examples of the BMC toolset I wrote.
